What
are IRCops?
An IRCop is a
user with a lot of knowledge and privileges. They have a lot of power
and also a lot of responsibility. They do not get paid -- they all
donate their free time and knowledge.
What can and can't an IRCop do? What they can do is a lot -- even
more what they can't do.
What I guess you have all probably heard about /kill, /K-line, and
/G-line
Kill -- Is only a way to disconnect you from the network, you can
reconnect immediately.
K-line -- Local server ban. Prevents you from connecting to that specific
server. Reason can be geographical location, or possibly abuse from
a user on that specific server. This is not a time-limited ban, it
can stay 1 minute up to forever. This form of ban is in the specific
server's config file and these bans are not enforced on any other
server. Example: Undernet: NZ, Auckland will only let in people with
.NZ (people from New Zealand). All other connections are K-lined.
G-line -- This is a harder form of k-line. This is a GLOBAL ban. This
mean you cannot connect to any server on a network. This way of banning
will always have a time limit and will be enforced until it expires.
Also, this ban CAN be held 1 minute up to several years, although
I have never seen the last example used. The most common length of
a g-line ban is 5 or 14 days.
Some Facts:
An IRCop can see you at anytime. But NOT private messages
An IRCop can kill you whenever they see reason to it. NOTE: They have
to answer to the admin on that server but they still can do it for
whatever reason.
An IRCop can NOT see our private MSG's Notices or anything else that
goes on in the channel if they are not present.
There is no way for an IRCop to see text written in any window unless
they are there in person or you send a server command.
How to find one then? Well this is easy, just type /who 0 o (the 0
is a zero, the o is a lower-case o).
